Stimson to discipline a colonel for "giving away military information." The information allegedly was part of a letter from Col. Butler B. Miltonberger, commander of the 134th Infantry Regiment and a hero of the Battle of St. .Lo. The letter contained a petition signed by members of the regiment, Wilson charged, in which they registered their opposition to a proposed dry amendment to he voted on in Nebraska Nov. 7. In Miltonberger's letter, Wilson said; was information regarding the number of men killed and wounded in his regi- ment. Meanwhile, William Ritchie, former state commander of the American Legion and a leader of an anti-prohibition group, declared that Wilson's charges were "slanderous" and "all unpatriotic attempt to disrupt the fighting fronts."
